On Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump will address Congress in a joint session at 9 p.m. in the United States Capitol in the House Chamber.

According to the White House website, Trump will talk about "his vision for the future of the country." But what exactly could he discuss in his speech?

Here's are some possibilities.

1. Healthcare

Trump has said he will unveil a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare with more affordable coverage but he has not made those plans public.

Recently Trump and health insurer leaders gathered at the White House to discuss what's next in terms of rolling back Obamacare, which is also known as the Affordable Care Act. He told insurers that "Obamacare has been a disaster and is only getting worse." He said he will unveil his "fantastic plan" soon, adding that the insurers "will like what they hear."

"The new plan will be a great plan for the patients, for the people, and hopefully for the companies," Trump said, promising costs will come down. "It's going to be a very competitive plan."

2. ISIS

Throughout his campaign trail, Trump repeatedly talked about his plan to end ISIS, but once again he has not specifically outlined these details.

This week, the Pentagon sent the White House what it calls "preliminary framework" in regards to defeating ISIS. Trump called for the new blueprint to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq a month ago, and the document details possible military, diplomatic and financial measures to increase US engagement in the campaign, a US official said.

3. Russia and the media

This topic might not be discussed but the president has been tweeting about the pending Russia investigation. He claimed on Sunday that "Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!"

On Monday, Rep. Darrell Issa reasserted his comments made over the weekend calling for an independent investigation into alleged Russian communications with the Trump campaign. He said "The American people need a clear-eyed view of the nefarious actions of the Russian government."

Issa also called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step down and have an independent prosecutor take over.

4. Jobs

Trump has been quite vocal about his intent to create jobs throughout the nation.

"Everything is going to be based on bringing our jobs back," Trump said. "The good jobs, the real jobs. They've left."

Trump's administration has organized meetings with CEOs and manufacturing executives, and has also created economic councils featuring prominent business leaders. Recently, he brought two dozen manufacturing CEOS to D.C. to discuss bringing back factory jobs that were lost to foreign competition.

5. Budget

This week Trump outlined his budget proposal that showed $603 billion would go to defense and $462 billion would go to non-defense items, putting $54 billion non-defense dollars into the defense pile.

by bringing up the defense budget by $54 billion would increase defense spending by 10 percent. The US is set to spend $36 billion total on foreign aid in 2017. The entire budget requested by the State Department for 2017 was about $50 billion. That request will have to come down to meet Trump's goal.

"The president said we're going to spend less money overseas and spend more of it here. That's going to be reflected with the number we send to the State Department," Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters.
